The release 3.0 postponed till end of January 2019. New beta is already on the Google Play. In addition to built-in TTS this version adds
- New file picker feature: you can open files directly from FBReader using your preferred file browser look & feel
- New LitRes store integration in the network library. Not all features of old catalogue are ported, so both catalogues are still available. The main advantages of the new catalogue are:
- Always correct prices
- The basket synchronised with the LitRes site and between devices
- PDF books are visible in the catalogue, purchase/download will be available soon
FBReader Premium 3.0 beta for Android
First beta of FBReader Premium 3.0 uploaded to Google Play. You have to be Premium user and join the beta track to try it.
The beta includes a very first version of the built-in text-to-speech module. TTS works for text formats only (no PDF support at this moment, sorry). To run the feature, open left menu in reading mode, and select "Read Aloud".
FBReader 3.0 significantly changes the app internals. In particular, the plugin API has been changed. If you use FBReader Premium to read DjVu, you will be requested to update the DjVu plugin as well.
